The Biological Laboratory, completed in 1920, is adequate in size and
arrangements for housing comfortably all classes in Biology. The building is
provided freely with electricity, gas, and water. The equipment consists of
compound microscopes of the best types, microtomes, paraffin ovens, incubators,
sterilizers, and other apparatus required for general and advanced work. The
departmental library contains a good working collection of biological texts and
books of reference, as well as files of the more important journals.

Affiliated with the Miller School of Biology is the Blandy Experimental Farm,
established by bequest of the late Graham F. Blandy. The Director, Professor
Orland E. White, is in residence at the University during the first two terms.
During the third term and summer quarter he directs research of advanced
students at the farm, which is in Clarke County, Virginia. For such students
the farm serves as a field laboratory for experimental work.

Fellowships: The University announces the establishment of five research
fellowships in Genetics, in connection with the Blandy Experimental
Farm. Two carry an honorarium of $1000 each, and three carry an honorarium
of $500 each. All five include free tuition. These fellowships present
an opportunity for graduate study and research accompanied by a
limited amount of instructional work, involving not over one hundred hours.
They cover a period of eleven months annually, and are designed to encourage
investigational work leading towards advanced degrees. They are
open to men and women with a bachelor's degree from a college or university
of recognized standing, who have had special training in biological and
agricultural subjects. The first two terms are spent at the University, the
remainder of the time at the Blandy Experimental Farm.

SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY

Students taking Laboratory courses in Chemistry are required to pay for
each course a fee of $20.00 and make a special deposit of $5.00 to cover breakage
of apparatus.

Chemistry B1: General Chemistry: The fundamental principles of
chemistry. The first term is devoted to an introduction to the atomic theory
and the chemical view of matter and a study of acids, bases, and salts. The second
term comprises a consideration of the electrolytic dissociation theory, oxidation
and reduction reactions, equilibrium, and typical nonmetallic elements. The
third term is devoted to an introduction to the chemistry of carbon, the descriptive
chemistry of the more important metals and a brief introduction to qualitative
analysis. 3 hours of lecture and 6 hours of laboratory per week. (B.A.

namely gravimetric and volumetric. The important principles around which practically
all quantitative methods may be grouped are: Neutralization, solubility
product, oxidation and reduction, colorimetry, and evolution and measurement of
gases. The laboratory exercises have been selected with the idea of illustrating
these principles as well as introducing the student to something new in laboratory
technique each time. 1 hour lecture and 6 hours laboratory work per week. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.) Professor Yoe and Assistant.

Chemistry C1: Technical Analysis: Chemistry B4 prerequisite.—This

Associate Professor Benton.

Chemistry D4[2] : Atomic Structure: An introduction to the modern theory
of atomic structure and its application in the study of the structure and some
properties of matter. Associate Professor Benton.

Research: Every graduate student in Chemistry is expected to carry
on research. No special courses are listed, as the nature of the work and the
credit received will vary with the time spent upon it, the previous training of
the student and the degree for which the student is applying. At present investigations
are under way in this laboratory in the fields of catalysis; adsorption;
reaction velocity in heterogeneous systems; free energy of lead compounds;
colloid chemistry; organic synthesis and other problems in organic chemistry.

The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in chemistry
are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.
The privileges of the club are extended to all members of the University
and others who are interested in the progress of Chemistry.

The Chemical Laboratory, recently completed, is of brick, fire-proof construction,
and the three floors afford 30,000 square feet of space. The seven
larger laboratories will accommodate 625 students, and, in addition to these
there are smaller laboratories for the use of the instructors and advanced students.
There are also rooms for assay furnaces, gas and water analysis, photography,
etc. The equipment is satisfactory for purposes of both instruction
and research. The laboratory maintains a working library containing about

173

5,000 volumes directly relating to chemistry as well as complete files of the
important periodicals. A gift to the School of Chemistry from Mrs. Hamilton
Barksdale in memory of her husband, and from Delaware alumni and friends
of the University, will make possible at once a number of additions to the library.
The annual income from this fund, which became available for the first
time in the session of 1925-26, will soon make the library thoroughly adequate.

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy: In addition to
fulfilling the regular University requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy,
candidates for this degree who select chemistry as their Major Subject
must give evidence of thorough training in the general principles of chemistry,
in organic chemistry, and in analytical chemistry, by passing written qualifying
examinations in these subjects; these examinations to be passed not later than
the close of the session preceding that in which it is expected that the degree will
be conferred.

Fellowships: There will be available for the session of 1928-1929 seven
Teaching Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500.
These fellowships present the opportunity for graduate study and research in
Chemistry, accompanied by a limited amount of instructional work. Holders
of the fellowships will be expected to devote not more than fifteen hours
a week to instruction, leaving ample time for research and work toward the
graduate degree. The fellowships are open to men who have received a
bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized standing, and
who have received thorough undergraduate training in chemistry and
physics. Preference will be given to applicants who have studied calculus,
German, and French.

The Lewis Brooks Museum contains collections illustrating the main
subdivisions of natural history. Each of the collections is arranged so as to exemplify
the principles of the science, and at the same time offers a large variety
of subjects for advanced study. In geology the specimens show the different
kinds of rocks, classified according to mineral character and the formations in
which they occur. The collections of fossils, plaster casts, maps, etc., are exceptionally
fine, and illustrate historical geology. In mineralogy, the principles
of the science are made plain by well-chosen suits of specimens, models of
crystals, etc. The general collection of minerals contain all the important species,
and many of the rarer ones, in good specimens. In addition to the above, a
beginning has been made of a collection to illustrate the geology and mineralogy
of the State of Virginia, and this is being increased as rapidly as possible.

possible, and he is guided into the history of the Roman popular vernacular
and into an acquaintance with the authors illustrating the vulgar Latin in literature.

It is the aim of this course to prepare the candidate to investigate independently
the sources of our knowledge of the language, monuments (literary and
objective), and life of the Romans. The following is therefore an outline of
the course: I. In Language: Elements of comparative grammar; introduction
